Questions
Can I use Songtools and Symphony together?
Yes. If you buy playlist pitching through Songtools, you can keep doing that and use Symphony for the plan, the ads in your own accounts, and the release. Symphony does not sell curator placements.
Does Symphony pitch playlists like Playlister.Club?
Not the same way. Playlister.Club is a paid curator network billed per day. Symphony does not sell placements: campaigns are ads on Meta, TikTok, and YouTube, and your Spotify editorial pitch goes through your own Spotify for Artists, tracked by Cue as a release task.
What does Symphony cost compared to Songtools?
Songtools bills per service: about $48 a month for playlisting or $10 a day per campaign, plus campaign fees from around $150. Paid plans start at $49/month per artist. New accounts receive 150 initial credits; after 30 days, an unpaid account at zero credits may receive a fixed 50-credit refill once per calendar month.
